In this edition, Colombia is well represented through the Mid-Career awarded artists; Jorge Julian Aristizábal, Carlos Castro Arias and the duo Leidy Chávez and Fernando Pareja. The Achievement Award also goes to Colombian-born performance artist, María Evélia Marmolejo, who will be performing Conciencia Dopada on September 8th. As one of Latin America’s pioneer performance artists, her pieces focus on her views on political oppression, environmental concerns, women’s role in society and the symbolic meanings of women’s physiological functions, such as bodily fluids, many of which are used in her performances. In Conciencia Dopada, she proposes her body, mind and emotions, as a collective body that reflects distortion, fragmented consciousness, and dissatisfaction, affected by the loss of identity and very existence.
